Clinton covers everything from the Hudson River to Fifth Ave between 34th and 57th St, although you might not know it by that name. Many New Yorkers still know Clinton as Hell's Kitchen, but what's in a name matters less than what's in a neighborhood. And in Clinton, that means a host of new construction rental buildings offering some of the finest apartments for rent in Manhattan.
Given its surpassingly central location, it can be surprising how sedate and neighborhood-y Clinton is, especially given the booming restaurant and nightlife scene on 9th Avenue and ever-bustling theater district. But living in Clinton offers a uniquely New York combination of convenience -- given the neighborhood's proximity to mass transit and Midtown's business district -- and community. With Chelsea's galleries on the South and the stately luxury shopping and dining of Columbus Circle on the uptown side, Clinton manages to embody the extremes of its neighbors while remaining extremely welcoming.
A building boom two decades in length has blessed Clinton with a wealth of new apartment towers. The Westport and One Columbus Place are a pair of new hotel-style luxury rental building from The Related Companies, and among the most luxurious apartment buildings in Clinton. Claridge's is every bit as posh as its more modern competitors, but offers elegant pre-war rental apartments instead of ultra-modern rental flats. Even 42nd Street, not most people's idea of a residential blocks, has sprouted a pair of stunning new luxury rental towers -- the dazzling, 60-story Silver Towers and River Place. In Clinton, everything -- be it the neighborhood's name or the housing stock -- is changing, for the better.
Erected in 2002 by the Brodsky Organization, this 23-story rental apartment building has a red-brick base beneath a beige-brick tower. It occupies the northeast corner at Ninth Avenue and 42nd Street, incorporating four 19th-century row houses on Ninth Avenue. The building has a 10-story wing, and the west facade of the tower is a "gently curved metal and glass curtain wall, accentuated by a deep red color on window mullions and floor slab covers," as described by the designer. The entrance has a marquee suspended on cables from the fourth floor.
